Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

Prairie Urban Farm: Fall Harvest

Prairie Urban Farm (PUF) is a one-acre, mixed crop, community food system in the University of Alberta's South Campus. Their goals are to demonstrate and provide skill-building opportunities in alternative, regenerative ways of growing food within the city and to grow access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. Volunteers will help with spring seeding and planting in preparation for the growing season. They will also receive a tour of the farm, hear about the various projects PUF has been working on and learn where all the vegetables go after they've been harvested. After the tour, we'll all have a chance to get our hands dirty and do some planting ourselves!
